Mumbai India Food Forum 2025 Showcases Patanjali’s Expanding FMCG Range And Consumer-Centric Vision

The 18th edition of the India Food Forum 2025 in Mumbai brought India’s evolving food and FMCG ecosystem into sharp focus this week, with homegrown conglomerate Patanjali taking centre stage as the event’s FMCG partner. The brand showcased its diverse food and wellness portfolio, reaffirming its intent to blend tradition with innovation in a rapidly modernising consumer landscape.

Held at the Jio World Convention Centre, the two-day B2B event drew manufacturers, retailers, distributors and HoReCa businesses under the theme ‘Building a Palate for Partnerships’. The forum served as a hub for knowledge exchange and collaboration across the country’s growing food value chain, highlighting the sector’s crucial role in urban resilience and sustainable consumption.At the Patanjali pavilion, visitors experienced the brand’s wide range of offerings  from mustard oil and Chyawanprash to Nutrela soya products, aloe vera juices and a fully maida-free biscuit line. Senior officials from the company emphasised that Patanjali’s philosophy of “consumer-first innovation” continues to drive its expansion across India’s urban and semi-urban markets.

A senior company representative noted that Patanjali’s vision stems from the principles of self-reliance and inclusive growth championed by its founders. “Our focus remains on connecting deeply with the middle-class consumer. Every product we create seeks to blend purity, affordability and trust,” the official said, adding that no role within the company feels like “just a job”  it’s a shared mission.Industry observers pointed out that Patanjali’s participation underscores how Indian FMCG firms are adapting to the evolving tastes of younger consumers while retaining traditional brand values. With new product lines such as atta noodles and plant-based supplements, the brand appears keen to attract Gen Z consumers seeking health-conscious yet convenient food choices.

The India Food Forum 2025 also hosted two major award ceremonies — the IMAGES Food Service Awards and the Coca-Cola Golden Spoon Awards  recognising innovation and excellence across the food and retail sectors. Experts at the event said that partnerships between large FMCG players and smaller local enterprises will play a pivotal role in shaping sustainable food ecosystems for urban India.As India’s food economy grows beyond ₹40 lakh crore, platforms like the India Food Forum demonstrate how collaborative industry events can influence more equitable and sustainable supply chains. For Patanjali, it was not just a showcase, but a reaffirmation of its commitment to fostering holistic well-being while building partnerships that bridge tradition, technology and the evolving urban consumer base.
